    NAD: SWR Baby Blue II

    Found this on Guitar Center's website. I've been curious about this amp for several years. As someone who started playing bass in the mid 90s, I've always been a fan of SWR. I wanted to try another combo amp that had a tube pre-amp. I had a Fender Bassman TV 10 a few years ago and loved that...

    NDB: 1961 Fender Precision

    I periodically check vintage Precision bass prices on various websites to see what's out there, mainly because I've had a vintage (1963) Fender and like to follow the market. It's hard to keep track of all the different stores one can check on for prices. But this weekend the Music is Win...

    Musicman - Are there Distiguishable Eras of Production?

    How do I make my B100R sound MORE LIKE my B-15?

    I recently purchased a well cared for B-15 from 1966 and have been spending a lot of time playing it. I'm getting spoiled by its tone. I feel like it's contributing to my song composing. I'm hearing things differently on it, enjoying certain tones and notes that I had overlooked before. It's...

    Fixing up 1963 Precision Bass

    Hi everyone. This is my first post and first time belonging to a bass forum. I've been playing bass since 1996 and have only owned two basses, my starter bass (a Korean made Alvarez that I still have) and my main bass, a Stingray5 (I tune EADGC) that I got in 1998. Honestly I love the...
